Have just learned of Sandra's death. Baruch dayan ha'emet.

Sandra was kind, warm, and caring. It was always good to see her at activities when I was at Jewish Federation Apartments. I was there as Activities Director from Dec 2017 until June 2023.

My deepest condolences and may Sandra's memory always be for a blessing. May all of you be comforted and blessed with love and healing from your friends, family, acquaintances.
